Hanukkah starts tonight at sundown, so – naturally – that was part of my conversation over coffee this morning with the boyfriend. Pam had posted the new Six13 Hanukkah video, which reminded me of another Hanukkah video I’d seen many years ago, which I naively assumed was by the same group. (Oh, silly Jessica. Of course it’s not the same group.) I am now willing to believe that not only are there two, there are probably more.

Here’s this year’s Hanukkah song, “Chanukah (Shake It Off).”

And, for reference, here’s the 2010 video “Candlelight” by The Maccabeats.

It’s taking all the willpower I have to not go down the rabbit hole of both of their video collections right now, since I have a metric ton of work to do, but I invite you to venture into that internet abyss in my stead.

My friend Pam is often my sounding board when I’m frustrated or trying to talk my way through something that’s bothering me. Recently, she sent me this GIF animation which – as you can tell by the title of this post – I have decided is my new spirit animal.
